While the NBA world is focused on disgruntled Kevin Durant’s trade request, earlier this week Kyrie Irving’s ninth signature shoe was allegedly leaked online.
A sneaker collector on Instagram with the handle @KicksDong posted high quality pictures showcasing the alleged shoe from all angles, with Irving’s design and logo across the shoe.
Bleacher Report tweeted some of the images, saying that this could be Irving’s final signature sneaker with Nike.
While Irving was rumored to be talking with other teams at the beginning of the offseason, it has been reported earlier this month that he may want to stay with the Nets roster.
Irving’s relationship with Nike was complicated as he was deemed controversial due to the number of games that he missed because he didn’t partake in the COVID vaccine.
